Psalms 84

^{Verse 1}To the chief Musician upon Gittith, A Psalm for the sons of Korah. How amiable are thy tabernacles, O Lord of hosts! ^{Verse 2}My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of the Lord: my heart and my flesh crieth out for the living God. ^{Verse 3}Yea, the sparrow hath found an house, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, even thine altars, O Lord of hosts, my King, and my God. ^{Verse 4}Blessed are they that dwell in thy house: they will be still praising thee. Selah. ^{Verse 5}Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee; in whose heart are the ways of them. ^{Verse 6}Who passing through the valley of Baca make it a well; the rain also filleth the pools. ^{Verse 7}They go from strength to strength, every one of them in Zion appeareth before God. ^{Verse 8}O Lord God of hosts, hear my prayer: give ear, O God of Jacob. Selah. ^{Verse 9}Behold, O God our shield, and look upon the face of thine anointed. ^{Verse 10}For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand. I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness. ^{Verse 11}For the Lord God is a sun and shield: the Lord will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly. ^{Verse 12}O Lord of hosts, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee.
